I installed Blender 2.83 a few weeks ago and although I can’t say it’s been the most stable software I own, I did manage to explore a bit.
I had some issues saving preferences where as soon as I would close the prefs window Blender would crash. That somehow cured itself and things were ok for a few days.
Yesterday I opened Blender 2.79 portable so I could export some 3ds files. That worked fine.
Today I’ve tried to import some very basic meshes into Blender 2.83 (subdivided cubes) in various formats but Blender immediately crashes on hitting ‘import’. I then tried to simply open a very simple previously saved Blender file and again, Blender just crashes. I tried to reinstall, then I uninstalled what I had installed and tried a fresh install of 2.83.2. Still the same.
Finally I tried portable 2.83.2 and still the same.
I’d really like to get into Blender (currently a MODO user) but if this is a taste of what’s to come I’d rather stay well clear. So far Blender makes MODO look rock solid and that’s not an easy thing to do.

Any ideas why I can’t open or import anything?
